Hi My Topamax side effects for the past 4 months have been major confusion, I forget things, such as did I take my pills how many pills do I take this morning when I used to do 4am 3 at night it used to confuse the hell outta me. I am in grad school, I cannot remember a lot of things. I have to read a chapter over and over couple of times, the length of time it might take me to do a 10 page chapter is 4 hours. To get through one set of notes it takes me the whole day or half a day, I am so slow and fatigued from the medicine. My mind works so slow. I have a hard time forming words and sentences. I hate Topamax, decreasing the dose did nothing for me. My eyes burn when I read. Everyday I go on the same road from school to home, I don't drive, someone else takes me, I still don't know how to get from home to school. I know pieces of it. just like my school work, pieces. Everything is a blur.
